Was chester allen arthur a good president?
He was probably better than most people think. He pushed forward the Civil Service Act which, unfortunately for him, was not popular with his supporters in his party and he was mistrusted by the reformers in the party and so was not really considered for a second term and thus was doomed to obscurity.
Was president Chester A Arthur born in Canada?
Chester Alan Arthur was the son of Irish-born preacher William Arthur and Vermont-born Malvina Stone Arthur. Most official references list him as having been born in Fairfield in Franklin County, Vermont on October 5, 1829. But Arthur sometimes claimed to have born in 1830, the date that is on his grave inscription and occurs in some reference works. His father had initially migrated to Dunham, Québec, Canada, where he and his wife at one point owned a farm about 80 miles (129 km) north of the U.S. border. There has long been speculation that the future president was actually born in Canada and that the family moved to Fairfield later. If true, this would have meant that he was constitutionally ineligible to serve as vice president or president. Given a lack of official documentation and the seeming confusion about the year of Arthur's birth, historians have been unable to rule this possibility out. But though some of his opponents circulated the Canada rumor during the 1880 election, they could not prove it, and no proof has emerged since.
Why didn't Chester Arthur have a vice president in office?
